You can only UV map when they’re polygons.

but i somehow managed to have the same uv map on my body of the guitar

but anyways, so the way to solve it is to convert it to polys?

that will be no problem because you can convert sDiv to poly with the option vertices, formerly called controlPoints and set the level to 0. so when you mapped the uvs you can convert it back to sDiv and have the exact same sDiv mesh as before.
everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.
